Back Blues Against Walsall

Blues face Jon Whitney’s side on Saturday 3rd March looking to extend their winning streak at Roots Hall.

Southend are currently on a five-match unbeaten run in League One, as well as scoring three goals in their last three home games, can Blues make it four home wins under Chris Powell?

Walsall make the journey to Roots Hall in 17th place after winning 10, drawing 11 and losing 12 games this season..

In the reverse fixture Blues were victorious thanks to Simon Cox’s goal which gave Southend their first win at the Banks's Stadium since the 2007/08 season, which also happens to be the last time Blues did the double over the Saddlers.

Last year’s game was a classic as a second half comeback saw Blues overturn a two-goal deficit in the final 30 minutes in dramatic style to win 3-2.
